      - PS: The shot at Samara was an inside joke. That may be leading to confusion on how anxious I really am about it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 15:00

  - Here's something called Kuula that seems to play 360 photos natively. -- (link) - Mop Aug 30, 14:41
- Doesn't work on mobile Safari, or in the Flickr app. What separates a 360° photo from a regular one? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 14:33 6
  - A 360 photo is just a strange looking JPG. It's rectilinear. The photo player on the site needs to be able to recognize it properly to play it. -- nm* - Mop Aug 30, 14:35
  - (Could you email the original to me?) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 14:33 4
    - Will do. -- nm - Mop Aug 30, 14:34 3

So ... are we pausing for a bit in Astros? Or should I go ahead and pick? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 30, 14:27 9
- It's not your turn since Kilbo hasn't picked an available player. -- nm - David Aug 30, 14:28 8
  - I'll take the hit and draft a new guy. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 15:15
  - So, we've drafted out of order twice, drafted a player for a position they don't play, and drafted a player already drafted by someone else? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 30, 14:43 3
    - Daunte Culpepper! -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 15:09 1
      - aka pixie's finest hour drafting -- nm - crash davis Aug 30, 15:11
    - This. This is why we don't all submit draft cards 8-) -- nm - JD Aug 30, 14:47

*puts Spawn in "Doesn't Understand Opportunity Cost" corner with RC* -- nm - spamlet Aug 30, 14:24 12
- or, possibly, his last couple picks are performance art -- nm - crash davis Aug 30, 14:34 2
  - Their lack of understanding is from drafting a kicker in the "Warm Body Time". Something few of us understand. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 14:39
  - Here ... hold my beer. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 30, 14:36
- Like explaining calculus to a frog. -- nm - David Aug 30, 14:27 1
  - Or frog Thor? -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 14:48
